JDMCQ's Garage

Because the code changes... And I would rather have peace of mind in case something changed. Also, first year Erica and I filed jointly

 

Dug around the site and it does not support my brokerage.

 

didn't know any did that

 

Turbo tax does but it cost $30 more than TaxAct.

 

Ah. Yes. Understood. Good thing you aren't also a farmer subleasing his land to a church. Or something.

When I was self-employed, it sucked ass. I spent hours maintaining and pulling together records just so could turn them over to a professional preparer. Thank god those days are over. If there is one thing that will make you demand simplification of the tax code, it is self-employment.

 

X2....for single guy with a house and that's it I'm done in 20 minutes. I did mine in mid January before they could even be submitted the 30th. Had my cash and had it spent before most got their 1040's from work

 

Add on top of that my financial adviser sold a bunch of my mutual funds and brought be just back to 2 altogether. It confused the guy thinking he had to add every single long and short term in individually. He got 1/3rd of the way through 20 of them and was told he could just put in 1 for long term sales and 1 for short term sales.

Then Erica is still a KS resident so we had to fix THAT. I wanted to file federal joint but state single. I know people who do it, but he wouldn't appease me and try it out.........

But we just made up for it at a little Italian/Mediterranean place by the house. I know the owner and he hooked us up with free chicken hummus and a 2 beers for me.

 

I'll send him beer...

 

The boys are doing very well with Corbin. Simon has been a very curious puppy.

 

That is a good value.

 

I will say one thing, Boxers are the best dog with babies...

Dammit. I need to sell all my crap stocks on scottrade.

 

I have one or two. But one is a buddies company and it wouldn't let me buy more since it is considered a penny stock. He is a friend of mine and owns wells up and down the midwest from TX to ND and even some in MT. It's fluxed from .10 to .25 since I have had it.

 

Evening Keith, Connor, Brady

How goes it

 

Hey Connor. I'm missing the damn warm weather right about now. Nothing like being at the pool in Feb...

 

Adam. It goes well. Finished the taxes... we are getting over 3500 back. Majority of it will go to the house.

 

I got nothing to complain about right now. Tomorrow may be a different story.

I still need to do mine. Turbo tax here I come.

 

Booo!

We will be camping in the snow this weekend. Now that's winter baby!

*prays for no rain and sub-zero temps*

 

High of mid 30's here

 

I have seen that look, but I had a sammich instead of a baby.
